"Thought of you as my mountain top, thought of you as my peak, thought of you as my peak, thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep" Love those lyrics, lou is a words master and let everyknow it on their first album (Banana)
I love that one dissonant "F" note that sounds when he sings "sometimes I feel so happy." It makes the song so ...heartbreaking, heartfelt, and haunting.
A bootleg recording of Patti Smith singing "Pale Blue Eyes"... By way of introduction, Smith tells her audience "Lou Reed wrote this song for Hank Williams who died of an overdose of pill..."
questa canzone stupenda la dedico a te..a te che sei l'unico che io possa mai amare. a te che mi hai fatto capire cos'è l'amore, che l'hai coltivato e scoperto con me per la prima volta. a te che ora sei lontano mille e mille chilometri.a te..che non posso piu abbracciarti. non smetto di pensarti..ho voglia di costruire un futuro insieme,di amarti e rispettarti finchè davvero..sia solo la morte a separarci. ti amo ivan. tua charlie
the song is haunting and perfect. take from it want you want--a woman (lovely thought) or drugs (could be). i mean as influencial and genius and innovative as vu has been, most of their stuff is about sex or drugs...sweet jane, heroin, waiting on the man, the list goes on. the only song i can think of off hand that isn't about either is these days, but didn't jackson browne write that? this song is haunting and perfect!!!!!
Qualche volta mi sento così felice, qualche volta mi sento così triste, qualche volta mi sento così bene... ma di solito mi fai impazzire tesoro : ) ... mi fai proprio impazzire e io, io mi soffermo sui tuoi occhi blu...Se potessi rendere il mondo puro e strano come lo vedo io ti metterei dentro uno specchio davanti a me..e poi mi soffermo ancora, sempre, sui tuoi occhi blu... sui tuoi occhi blu...
i miei occhi son semplicemente color di te piccolo,sono uno specchio si , dove mi rifletto , dove ho riposto tutte le cose belle che mi hai lasciato, dove riguarderò quando mi mancherai da morire....come ora.....
Pale blue eyes is a reference to pale blue eyes. The Velvet Underground were not some drug crazed morons. They did use drugs, but every song recorded in the 60's isn't a veiled reference to some drug use...except maybe 'Black Betty', and 'Heroine' and 'Purple Haze'...ok there are a good deal of drug songs out there. I just like to think Lou is singing about some chick on this song.

not exactly. it's a reference to a lover who was on the h-train. the smack makes your eyes glassy and makes the colors of the iris much more brilliant. however, i think that the fact that this is about an illicit affair makes all drug references inconsequential to the true meaning of this mellow, beautiful tune.
thank you so much for posting. my boyfriend loves the velvet underground and he said this song describes how he feels about me better than he can-- its beautiful.

Borderline flawless track. It's either this or "Venus In Furs" that is my favourite VU track.
The song, to me, was always about an adulterous relationship. From what I've read, it is a very autobiographical track on Lou's part.
He lists every reason why he should leave. Yet, the pale blue eyes and the way they haunt his soul stop him every time.
Love the main guitar riff in this. It sounds so frail and like a hiccup.
Beautiful stuff.
